Out running errands and when leaving I noticed the brake light blinking. I do use the parking brake a lot. so I pulled it on and off a couple times, no change. The brakes feel normal. Stopped for gas and checked the fluid reservoir, its at the proper level.
Then driving home, after a couple miles the light went off. (?) When I got home it was back on again. I am thinking maybe a wonky parking brake switch. But will check the switch on the master also Is the parking brake switch a Normal Open or Normal Closed? Anyone else have this happen ? Or know of something else I should check.... |

Are the turn signal indicator labels in the schematic correct? They look like they're flipped.

Are the turn signal indicator labels in the schematic correct? They look like they're flipped. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Yes. They are correct. Has to do with alerting the driver of a burned exterior bulb. The OEM flasher connects the common connection of the indicators to 12V when bulbs are good. So the indicator for a side is grounded by going through the other side's exterior (and unlit) bulbs. If an exterior bulb is burned out, C2 will not connect to 12V; remain open circuit and both indicators will flash together. 911 models up to 1984 are connected the same way. Part of the instructions for installing EP26 when doing LEDs is to pull the tach, pull out and swap the L and R indicators. |
